An Open Letter

To: Sen. Young, Sen. Banks, Rep. Carson

From: A verified voter in Indianapolis, IN

April 22

I have never written to Congress before so I'm not sure the best approach. Typically I just vote for who seems to support the things I care about and then sign petitions hoping that things change for the better, but that is all starting to feel meaningless. I grew up being taught that hard work pays off, and America is the greatest country on earth. I believed those things for a long time, even though the person who taught them(my dad, a poor white American born to white Americans, one of which served in WW2) never registered to vote. It's become increasingly more clear since Trump's first term, that this country only caters to the upper class. Minorities and anyone below the upper class are not important. Personally, I can deal with not being important, but everyone else deserves better and things are getting extremely scary. Donald Trump has repeatedly placed himself above the law and now has publicly violated his constitutional oath by declaring on Truth Social: "We cannot give everyone a trial, because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years." Our constitution is long overdue for some updates but I truly believe there were good intentions behind it that we should still strive to achieve as a country. He likes to say if anyone else was elected we wouldn't have a country anymore but it's looking like the opposite is true. Of course that won't matter to the rich, they'll just move to their vacation or 2nd home elsewhere and probably do it all over again. Anyway, I thank you for taking the time to read this and I really HOPE to see something being done to impeach and remove Trump from office.
